For our anniversary we stayed in this beautiful cabin in Driggs. We had an amazing weekend together laughing and reflecting on the last two years together and the many more to come!
I love you so much Skyler, you are the chocolate to my milk. These have been the best years of my life and I know it will only get better!
They say babies learn new things everday..
Carter has learned how to take his diaper off....lovely.
he has also learned how to drink out of a straw.
push a book around the room
and pull the whole dvd player off the shelf. and he says "MAMA"!!!
they truly do learn something new everyday...just stop it for a minute!
Carter and I went for a visit to Texas and it was such a fun trip. Carter loved seeing so much family he hadn't been able to meet yet and of course loved the constant attention. Some highlights of the trip include..
The flight...he LOVED it and was SO good both ways 
Finding all kinds of new things to play with
Being held by cute little girls all day
Swimming everyday
The hawaiian luau
Learning new games
Going to leaping lizards
Riding Poopaws tractor
we love you texas!
A friend of mine from school needs prayers. Her 18 month old daughter Preslee fell into an irrigation canal on friday night. About 2 miles down the canal a working farmer felt something hit his leg and realized it was a baby. He pulled sweet Preslee out and immediately started infant CPR on her, while instructing his brother to call 911. Preslee was life flighted to the hospital and has been in critical condition ever since. Her and her family are in the need of prayers. They have not left my mind since I learned about this and we are praying for their family every minute we have. Please please pray for this family.

Carter is finally growing some hair and I love everything about it!
and have I mentioned that he is the cutest RED HEAD I have ever seen!
Carter is 7 months old today and I am just eating him up. I love every minute with him and I legit get sad when he goes to bed at night. He is seriously so funny and is enjoying being a spoiled baby. His 7 month stats:
Eating bananas
Running circles around his toy
Taking walks with momma
Laughing at absolutely ANYTHING you say to him
Playing outside
Riding like a big boy in the shopping cart
and of course getting into everything!
Today Skyler and I [along with every other mother in rexburg] took Carter to the splash park. I have been not so patiently been waiting for it to warm up so we can take him and today was the day! I was so excited thinking that Carter was going to love it, I thought that he would just sit there and play and play with the water until he was worn out. I was so wrong, he HATED it. I took him to a spout of water, it sprayed up and he screamed bloody murder. Skyler wanted to keep trying but each time the screams got louder and louder. So we left the park, Carter wrapped in his frog towel crying and holding on to me for dear life. I guess we will just stick to a kiddie pool in the backyard.
